Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements in Naperville, Illinois

Few couples get married planning to divorce, but some like to prepare for any eventuality. A thorough prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can set various terms for things like property division, alimony/maintenance, and ownership of family businesses. We can help you draft these agreements correctly to protect your interests, ensuring that they will withstand any challenges to their validity in the event of a divorce. We can also assist you in disputing an improperly drafted agreement.

Establishing or Disputing Paternity in Illinois

When a child is born to a married couple, the husband is assumed to be the father. For unwed parents, legal paternity needs to be established to give the father parental rights when addressing child custody issues. Mothers seeking child support may also need to establish paternity. In other cases, a child's mother could try to get child support from you for a child you think is not yours, and you may need to take steps to dispute paternity. We offer skillful representation for anyone involved in paternity matters.

Naperville Legal Separation

You and your spouse may not be getting along, but you may not be ready to divorce. A legal separation formalizes various terms, such as alimony/maintenance, child custody, parenting time, child support, and property division. Drafting a comprehensive agreement can make your separation smoother, with fewer disputes. Your separation agreement can also serve as the foundation for divorce terms if you decide to proceed with the dissolution of your marriage.

Civil Unions and LGBTQ Marriage and Divorce in Naperville, Illinois

Couples in Illinois, whether same-sex or heterosexual, have the option to enter into a civil union instead of marriage. Dissolution of a civil union is similar to divorce, as you need to make decisions about property division, debt allocation, and other issues. Although LGBTQ couples can now marry and divorce like heterosexual couples, there are potentially several unique concerns that will need to be addressed. No matter how complex your situation, we can provide you with skilled legal representation tailored to your specific needs.

Naperville Court Order Modifications and Enforcement

When the court approves property division, child custody, child or spousal support, and related terms as you separate or divorce, those plans become binding court orders. Over time, various circumstances can change. We are ready to assist in these situations, whether you need to request modifications or enforcement of your existing court orders.

Illinois Orders of Protection for Domestic Violence

Domestic violence harms far too many people. If you have experienced violence or abuse, we can help you obtain an order of protection as a way to safeguard you and your children. We will also assist with child custody concerns when domestic violence and abuse threaten your children's safety.
